“Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.” -Psalm 27:14

[Bethany @mcbethanybabe]

Brought to tears by this verse bc I think of how many times we have denied God’s presence so we can continue living the way we want to, so we can sin. But God is so there, God is here. God is so good, so mighty, & deserves everything from us when our wicked selves deserve nothing

“It’s okay to not be okay” is a good quote and true
.
But realizing you’re not okay must be followed by action
.
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” 1Peter 5:7

Waiting on the Lord is active, and I have to constantly remind myself of that

[Bethany @mcbethanybabe]

Let your life be an example of the victory in Jesus. This is not by the circumstances of your life, but by the power of the one that can overcome all.

I really wanted to go to Vietnam... buuuuut some other exciting things are happening!!!! AAAAAHHHH!

"Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;"
Hebrews 11:25

[Bethany @mcbethanybabe]

"God is better than everything you're tempted to leave him for."
Also, it is important to recognize when you're trying to leave God.
Often we don't realize when we are trying to push Him away until we hit rock bottom.

God used a man that persecuted Christians to tell the world about Christ. Paul went through good leaders before he went out & I was disciples by an amazing woman before I started discipling. But trust in God to prepare you by the Holy Spirit & he can use you to do amazing things

[Bethany @mcbethanybabe]

Im just going to get on here and brag real quick:
I am discipling the cutest girl that continues to hit milestones in her walk. Honestly when I started discipling her I felt like I was lacking in some areas in my walk, but boy God is doing amazing things through me to get to her

[Bethany @mcbethanybabe]

I’m so proud of her, seeing the pain that she has pushed through to be where she is now and I feel so unqualified to be leading this girl. Moral of the story is if you don’t think you’re are capable of something God will prove you wrong.

“My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust.
But how had I got this idea of just and unjust?
A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line.
What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?”
-C.S. Lewis

[Bethany @mcbethanybabe]

It sucks how we are reminded how short and precious life is...
I just pray that we can grow from the heartache in knowledge and understanding, rather than just receiving confusion

[Bethany @mcbethanybabe]

No one is promised tomorrow. Praying for his family and friends ❤️

A missionary friend posted about Kobe’s death and he quoted James 4:14
“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away”
It breaks my heart to think of the lose and pain

[Bethany @mcbethanybabe]

“Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.”

A constant reminder to myself in a world full of face value. I serve a God that sees and cares for the heart ❤️

The highlight of my day was my brother explaining to my dad why he watches the Bachelor #BachelorNation

[Bethany @mcbethanybabe]

I want a Chik-fil-a milkshake so bad rn

[Bethany @mcbethanybabe]

I have to constantly remind myself of this:
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24

[Bethany @mcbethanybabe]

Church, where are your priorities at? In a hobby? Your career? Money? Sports?
Christ says in Matthew 6 to lay not up treasures on earth, but to lay up treasures in heaven.
Paul says to run the race for an incorruptible crown while the world is running for a corruptible one.

[Bethany @mcbethanybabe]

Weston watches the Bachelor now.... I’m sorry I got you addicted little bro 😬😓 #BachelorNation
